Green Tea Fast

[cbear6301]

My chiro is the one who was the first to tell me about being gluten free. For that I am eternally grateful. I saw him tonight and was talking about this past weekend and the screw up with gluten. He told me he wants me to do this green tea fast for two days followed by 3 days of a shake while slowly reintroducing foods. He wonders if I have other food issues.

Is this necessary? I really don't have the money for the program.. will cost over a hundred dollars and since I just did the enterolab I can't afford it...

Just want your opinions... thank you.

it sounds like a cash-grab to me.

Please save your money. If you are sick because of gluten, it will run it's course.

It's not often that we hear about a Chiroprator diagnosing people, but if the diet is helping you, great. But, are other food intolerances his line of expertise?

[cbear6301]

I thought cash grab too...

And yes he is a nutritionist as well, certified...but still...I don't know.

This just sounds so amazingly bogus to me. If you want to check for other food intolerances, switch to white rice and baked chicken with no oil or seasonings and add back foods at one/week. Keep a diary of any symptoms. If something shows up that you think may be food related, stop the newest food and see if it goes away, if it does, add back the food and see if the symptom returns. Keep going until you've made notes on all the food you normally eat.

You'll save boatloads of money, and won't be drinking weird shakes which could be full of other things you're intolerant to.

Definitely a cash grab...and it is completely unnecessary. Like Lisa said, if you got sick from gluten, it will run its course. There's no use in wasting your money. I can't stand these health care "professionals" who prey on sick people just to make a buck. It is so sleazy.

It was so hard for me to see through it because I am thankful to him for finding this in the first place. It has been ten years of countless drs and bills..so there was a measure of trust...my primary dr didn't believe it...so when he mentioned this I guess I knew deep down it sounded off... but then again I thought the gluten sounded off...

thanks you guys.. I will just keep my own journal..and remember that this will take time..I felt so good after the first week that I was surprised at the fall...
